When we put out calls for help with load-in and load-out, we usually don’t expect much. Although it is an opportunity to get to know your teammates, let’s face it, it’s also an opportunity to move stuff around and hammer and staple and get sweaty.

You guys did us proud, and blew the Moody Ques’ inbox up! Within hours of the post, we had multiple offers to help with not only load-in and load-out, but we also received interest in helping in the kitchen and bringing sides.

Let’s keep those responses coming, because we can never have too many hands on deck. Here’s the thing – the more people we have helping, the less effort each of us will have to put in, and the sooner we will be relaxing in our newly-constructed booth drinking some beer.

Email us at moodyques@gmail.com and let us know your availability for May 7-10 load-in and/or May 15 load-out. Even if you can only come for an hour or two, that makes a big difference. Thanks everyone!

I gotta tell you, load-out from Southaven Springfest was a long, tedious process, because we had some extra weight to carry out. That weight came in the form of a COOKING TROPHY for third place in seafood! We also got 12th in shoulder. No trophy for that, but it is said to be a stronger finish than our 9th in Atoka, based on the number of teams. Great job Frank. Erik, Clay, John D, and anyone else who helped.

We now have our sights set on the main event, BBQ Fest. I haven’t been told to take the PayPal widget off the website yet, so I assume we are still taking members if you know anyone who would like to join.

As soon as I get a picture of the trophy I will add it to this post. What a fantastic weekend!

Edit: And here is that trophy:

We are placing the team T-shirt order at the end of the day Friday, April 22. If you are a team member or plan to be a team member, please go here and give us your T-shirt size.

We are ordering extras but cannot guarantee a shirt in your size if you order after April 22.
